AlbanyRV/RVone should I feel disappointed or ripped off?

Hard to blame that one on the dealer. Unfortunately there is a lot of "old" tire inventory stored around the country. When there is a sale the tire dealer orders them in, installs them, and sends the customer down the road. Most people have no idea.

Take a look around the forum, you'll see this subject brought up more than once. There have been posts were people had to chose a different brand because they couldn't get "fresh" tires in the brand of their choice.

I purchased 2 year old tires. What a bummer. With a life of 6 to 7 years that is a big loss of useful tire life for me.

I purchased an 09 Holiday Rambler Admiral new in November 2009. The inside driver side rear tire blew this summer taking out my exhaust pipe, cracking my gray tank etc. My coach is still in the shop.

Turns out the tires were made in 2007. There was no obvious reason for the blow out but 2007 would make them 7 years old, not 5 as I had thought. I am replacing all the tires and will make sure I get new tires. I would definitely use the manufacture date when considering the useful tire life.

When I purchased my gas class A at Flagg RV in RI. The deal was to put all new tires on. A date was set for me to drop off my 5er that I was trading and pick up the A. Drove there unhooked fiver then off to have a look at the one we purchased. All looked good until I crawled under the coach to discover they didn't put new inside tires on only the outside dual and front. My wife flipped out in the office with other customers in there then asked our salesmen Ralph for the paper work. Ralph was like why do you want to make a change. My wife no I'm ripping it up. Ended up they took $2,000.00 off the deal for me to get two tires.

New tires in three years, you cannot be serious???
While fresh tires would have been nice, I might take one year off for the two years in storage. I went seven years on my front tires and 10 on the rear as I put almost all of the miles on them with proper inflation and care. The best thing you can do for your tires is to use the MH often as sitting in one spot for many months is why some say 5-7 years.
PS: I put my 10 year old tires on my dump truck as they were better (Virgin) than the recaps on the rear. Granted a blowout there will not hurt much.
OP since you are in VT forget all of the above and replace them in three years as my brother lives in NH and he will buy them for $100 each. :WGuess what he'll do with them... Yes he owns several dump trucks.

Buyer beware........

Nothing you can do now except plan ahead for new tires in 3 yrs or so.

RVng is not inexpensive by any means......but the joys, memories, adventures.

Live and learn.
